Fastest Smaart PA Tuning with Waves LV1 + TRACT + Rational Acoustics Smaart Suite

In this walkthrough, I show you exactly how I combine the Waves TRACT plugin with Rational Acoustics Smaart Suite right inside the Waves eMotion LV1 Classic mixer. Whether you’re mixing corporate events, church services, live music, or broadcast, this workflow lets you dial in a phase‑aligned, tonally balanced PA in minutes—no guesswork, no stress. ✅ Measure your system in Smaart and send the trace straight to TRACT without leaving LV1 ✅ Auto‑align subs, mains, and fills with TRACT’s FIR filters for rock‑solid phase coherence ✅ Shape your mix with precision EQ curves that follow your measurement—goodbye, feedback and hot spots ✅ Save & recall presets so every venue starts with a proven baseline, not a blank slate With TRACT and Smaart working together, you’ll tighten up low‑end punch, clear out muddy mids, and keep highs smooth and consistent across the room—while LV1’s patching keeps everything painless and repeatable.
